Including it free with the purchase of the system is perfectly fine, but there is absolutely no reason for them not to make it available for seperate purchase.

Well, I buy the game a get a free subscription (or is it the other way around?). Anyways, the subscription has to get you some other free stuff. I mean, they have been giving some nice things such as the Smash Bros. music disc. It really isn't that bad. Plus I'm sure you get some discounts for other stuff too in the bundle or something.

Why would you want to buy it as a seperate game when you can get it free with another top-game??

I really don't think you Americans have a problem... it's us Europeans who have to buy a new Cube with MKDD. At the moment.

I believe I already outlined that it's perfectly fine to include it with another product for free. It helps promote that product, and gives an added bonus. But, for the people who DO NOT want to buy those products, there should still be the option of buying it seperately.

Thats a nice thought, but thats not how good business works...

But I thought Nintendo's first priority is making good, quality video games?

Oh but of course, it's always good business to screw over your loyal fan base in order to increase profit revenue. Apparently Nintendo has abandoned the old phrase "pleasing the gamers comes before pleasing our pockets". This entire generation for Nintendo has contained constant screw overs for gamers. Take for instance the GCN/GBA connectivity, which is the biggest scam I've ever seen. In order for me to obtain 100% in most if not all my GCN games, I must purchase a gba, connection cables, and in most cases, a gba game. I don't give a crap what lame ass excuses anyone gives, like "well I already own all the stuff so it's alright". Horsesh*t.

Now we see even more crap surfacing, where I must purchase a console, or a game, or some other stupid thing in order for me to get this bonus disc. Is that the thanks I get for being a loyal fan and purchasing their system and games for over a year now? And once again, everyone who already plans to buy another GCN, or a game, or whatever else, seems to have no problem what-so-ever with Nintendo's doings, because it all works out perfectly for them. It's no wonder Nintendo gains such a significant profit, no matter what piss ass mistakes they make, there's always the fanboys waiting in line for their chance to praise them.

Let me tell you about what makes a good business plan. When you satisfy the user base, the people who enjoy and own a GCN, and continue to support the company by purchasing new games and accesaries, THAT is when you have done good business. By trying to gain a larger profit, at the expense of their current user base, that is bad business.

Just curious what game exactly forces you to have a GBA/GCn connection to get 100%?

As far as I know there is no game that forces you to use it to finish it, even Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles can be beat without it.

Maybe that's just me.

And I don't get some people, would you rther Nintendo charge 40 or 50 bucks for a disk that you can buy free with a system or get for free with a 20 dollar magazine subscription or by buying two other games?

I don't see how this is screwing over the "loyal" fans, but maybe that's just me.
